Formal Retraction From Chris Bohn

November 18, 2013 by Chris Bohn

Formal Retraction From Chris Bohn

This is my formal retraction to something that I have stated many times over my adult life.  Those who have known me know that I have always been a cat person, and historically (and vehemently) always said that “I would never own a dog”.  I’ve always had a cat, and currently have two indoor cats that are family fixtures to our household.

Last January that changed, and I haven’t been willing to openly admit it.   But since January my heart warmed up to the newest additions to the Bohn Family.

Here’s the story.

My husband has always wanted a dog.  My son has always wanted a dog.  Me ? ….nope!   But last January my husband wanted a specific breed, a Brindle Boxer, and started looking.   During his search he came across a Pet Rescue organization for this breed.  One thing led to another and he was put in touch with an owner of (2) brindle boxers that were about 8 months old.

Formal Retraction From Chris Bohn

That owner was active military and headed overseas and needed someone to take ownership of his dogs.   He was happy to hear that we lived on 5 acres, and told us his “boys” had spent most of their time in kennels in his apartment.   We adopted them.  I truly admit I was freaking out when my husband brought them home!   The size of their paws just scared me!  Oh my, what have I gotten myself into?  Dog ownership?  I was terrified, and so were the cats.

Their names are Chaos and Cash.   

They were so scared when they got to our home.  They were skiddish and afraid.  But within a week, they were better.  They were eating and playing.  They have grown and become so much happier.   They love to RUN and enjoy our fenced 5 acres.   Their personalities are wonderful.  Those two dogs are inseparable.  They follow my husband EVERYWHERE.  I tease him that they are his new children.

Now, they have taken over my heart too.

So this is my formal retraction for saying I will never own a dog…….

I now have two dogs, and 2 cats, and life is good in the Bohn household.

Here’s a short 1 minute video that I took of the boys playing in the rain water for the very first time.  They are truly family entertainment for us!
